Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Holly married Olympic athlete Adam Peaty on Saturday, 27 December at Bath Abbey, and the A-list glitterati arrived at the stunning venue to watch the pair cement their love.
Holly arrived with her father, and as she made her way into the Abbey, with sources telling HELLO! she was mobbed by photographers. “Holly’s wedding descended into chaos this afternoon as photographers and security clashed just as the bride was entering the church. As the world’s press assembled in an orderly fashion in a pen at the front of the church, four rogue photographers ran from a back door where the Beckhams had recently arrived as Holly and Gordon pulled up to the side of the church in their car. ”

Harper, who turned 14 in July, decided to wear a dress from her mother’s high-end designer fashion brand.

The elegant number fell in fluid fashion to the floor in a glamorous maxi length and created a sleek stance. Covering up from the cold and adding a flamboyant edge to her look, the beauty-loving Beckham offspring added a black feathered cape, which not only kept out the chill from the frosty weather but gave the modern look a romantic kick. She also carried a highly desirable piece of arm candy in the form of a Bottega Veneta bag.

Her satin maxi gown in midnight blue has had many outings, most memorably at her father’s joyous 50th birthday celebrations, which took place at the Beckham family home in the Cotswolds in July.

As a fashion editor who has been writing about style for over fifteen years, I think this is a great look to wear to a wedding, and I would even go as far to say Harper’s look is one of the best I’ve seen. This is because the teenager has chosen a jewel-toned number that isn’t overpowering, yet is still opulent and mindful of the bride. She’s adhering to unofficial style etiquette that is to be expected at wedding nuptials.
Fashion rules to follow when attending a wedding

When it comes to wedding guest outfits, there are a few unspoken rules. The first and main pointer is that one shouldn’t wear white, as this shade should only be reserved exclusively for the bride. I would also say that guests should try to avoid the colour scheme of the bridal party. (At Holly’s wedding for instance, her bridesmaids wore red.) Unless there’s a strict dress code, such as black tie, one can be free to wear a maxi, midi, or even a mini-length dress, a two-piece suit, or a trendy co-ord to a ceremony, reception, or both, as long as it is respectful.

She has a variety of colours, from blush pink to black. Speaking about her daughter’s style, including her penchant for her own silk dresses, Victoria previously told The Telegraph: “They suit her, and they’re appropriate. But she’s a tomboy really, although she has every skincare product under the sun.”
